Buckle up, Buttercup, and grab the tissues. This one will be a tearful, bumpy, heart wrenching, emotional ride, but the sun will shine again, you'll realize there’s a smile on your face, and you’ll read the last word of this book with an overflowing heart and a happy sigh. No, this isn’t a fluffy, hearts and flowers romance, but a story that is starkly authentic, emotionally raw and heartbreakingly beautiful.

We spend the first part of the book with Patrick and Sawyer, a young married couple. We see their undying love and devotion, their bickering and teasing and their hopes and dreams. They have a home they’ve purchased and are planning to fix up, fill with children and grow old together in. Then Sawyer reveals to Patrick that she’s pregnant, on the same day he gets devastating, life altering news.

The focus then shifts to dealing with all the emotions of terminal illness. The desperation to make each day, each moment, count, and store up as many memories as possible. The devastation of watching the one you love leave little by little, bit by bit, day after day, as pieces of your heart leave with them. The crippling grief, paralyzing fear and raging anger at the loss and unfairness of it all. And then, the wreckage that is left after the person you thought you would spend your life with is gone, and no amount of praying or wishing or dreaming will bring them back.

Then finally comes the journey of healing. Whether she wants to or not, Sawyer has to go through the motions, at the very least. She has a young daughter who needs her and family who refuse to let her fall. Patrick’s family is her family, and his best friend, Gabe, is her best friend. They’re determined to honor Patrick, keep his memory alive, and keep the promises made to be there and take care of Sawyer and baby Abigail.

This book gutted me. It shattered my heart and ripped my soul to shreds with its relatable, down-to-earth characters and everything they faced. If you’ve ever lost a loved one to terminal illness or know someone who has, you’ll see all of those old emotions stirred up and brought to the surface as you experience this story. From Sawyer expecting Patrick to be sitting there when she walks into a room to Gabe's guilt trying to keep his word, it will all ring true. But piece by piece, Ms. Harms put me back together and healed my heart right along with these amazing characters. Through the support and interactions from the various parental figures, even making me laugh at Gabe's mother. Through the delight of watching Abby develop and the adults in her life teaching her about her father. Through Sawyer finding herself smiling and laughing, and through Gabe resolving his guilt and giving himself permission to love his girls fully and completely.

And is it wrong that I have a huge girl crush on Patrick’s sister, Willow? A secondary character, but a significant one, she’s the voice of experience and wisdom who's not too grown up to wear princess pajamas with her niece. I’d love to see her have her own HEA story because it will take a very special man to be her hero and I’m so not ready to let go of these characters! I may be going through my own stages of grief now that this book is over. It easily gets a place on my list of top ten of all time and is one I’ll return to again and again. If you only read one book this year, make it this one. It will stay with you long after the last page, and your life will be richer for having read this phenomenal, beautiful, heartfelt story.

I always write some parts from the book. I do not know if it is considered as a spoiler. I do it to give people some insight further on in the book, Then the sample does. Then I leave my thoughts. If there are any errors in the parts I share. It is not in the book, It is my typo mistakes.

I wanted to be selfish. I wanted to be told that there was something that would give him more time.

Patrick made everything brighter. He gave me hope at times when I thought all hope was lost. He was my rock, and without him at my side, the foundation for my life was crumbling beneath me.

I was only 7% into this story and burst into tears. Ugly cry face sobs!! This is well written. Amazing writing. pulled me in from the beginning . And such wonderful details / insight on characters. Made me feel connected ... I wish I did not start this book. Even though the ending left me with a smile on my face. When I think about Patrick I wish it had a different ending. But I highly recommend this book! It is beautifully written.

I could see the change in him daily. The strong, proud man I'd fallen in love with now looked frail and exhausted.

Oh why did this author do this to me!!!! I love romance and I am a huge sap. And Patrick seems so perfect...

I loved how the author wrote this from other characters point of views. It made the connection to each character stronger getting inside all their heads, hearing all their thoughts. \\\

It had spice, love, hotness, sadness, happiness, heart breaking, breath taking, And Patrick and Gage are the best , Even though Gage is wonderful, Wonderful does not seem like enough to explain his character. I still wished what happen to Patrick did not happen!I highly suggest this book!!

The only thing I did not like was Gage wife's name --Honor-- I did not like it. That was the only thing I did not like. I loved this story . Powerful, emotional . The perfect love making.

Then he was holding me tight. I buried my face in his neck and sobbed."Let it out," he urged, "Just let it all go."

as much as you love Patrick, you will love Gage. It is just so,so, sad!

48% I had to stop reading to continue wiping my eyes. I could not stop my flow of tears..

Gage--- I'd promised to hold her up and stand by her side even when she tried to push me away.

They were my family, and nothing would ever change that....Download your copy free with kindle unlimited, or one click.... it is so worth it.I can not find the right words to describe this book, It is a really good book. I like this authors books, The only think I wish she would add in her writing, IS more time with the characters who fall in love, more tender moments and spice.

I saw this book in a newsletter and knew I had to read it. So beautiful, emotional, soul crushing and probably one of the BEST BOOKS I'VE EVER READ.

There are not enough positive words to explain what this book did to me. I started reading it at work and didn't care that I was crying in front of everyone.

The characters and real feel situation are absolutely amazing. The story will make you appreciate your loved ones and cherish what you have. If nothing, taken that away when you read this book. CHERISH EVERYTHING!

I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. Just remember that you'll cry alot (both happy and certainly sad ones). The story and all the characters will stay on your mind long after you finish.

This story moved me emotionally. Wonderful developed characters that made you feel everything they were going through. To be able to experience the love between Patrick and his wife Sawyer. It is a once in a life-time consuming experience.The honesty of the emotional turmoil that Gage and Sawyer have to go through is heart-wrenching and you can feel the conflicting emotions.

This is the first book I have read from C.A. Harms and I am a fan. I was hooked immediately and read this book in a day. I couldn't be put it down. I am so glad that a friend of mine recommended it to me, or I would have missed out on this beautifully written story.

This is a must read! It should come with a warning NEED TISSUES TO READ!! Do not read this in public or at work everyone will think you are crazy. I bawled like a baby the first 35% if this book. This book is all about great love and kiss and a second chance at love. This one is 5 stars and I haven’t given a book that in a long time. Love these three people so much.
